I think it is great to hang on to friends who don’t share your financial values, but it is very tough. Eventually, we tend to gravitate to those who do have like values…at least that is what happened to my wife and me.

Because our church has hosted Financial Peace University a number of times, nearly everyone has taken the course, so we get much of our support through our church family.

That is a hard one to answer for me. In fact, I’ve already tried to answer it three times and keep deleting and starting over. I guess partly it’s difficult because I don’t really have many in real life friends, aside from coworkers and church brethren and sistren. I don’t know anyone that is a complete spendthrift, even my one coworker who doesn’t seem to understand personal finance very well seems to live within her means. I guess the answer would be yes most of my friends share my financial values.

This particular friend of mine is more like a brother to me… We’ve known each other since he was 7…

I’ve been luck with boating, It seems like I’ve always had family or friends that had a boat my entire life…

I wrote about this as well a few months back and still have the same problem. That’s why I’ve enjoyed blogging to find a release and like minded people in regards to finance. We’re a rare breed It doesn’t help being 23 and having the financial perspective of an old man so I’m a closet frugalist most of the time.

True, better to just avoid the discussion. You know when your financial principals don’t align and most likely wouldn’t be a productive conversation. The friends that have been most influential with me lead by example.
